Traced my line back to Omagh Ireland. Is that where the orange comes from? Most people don't know the green orange connection on the flag either.
My family is from Cavan. My great grandfather was a Republican that was forced to flee to America after the uprising in 1919. It was either that or the penal colony / Kilmainham Gaol. He settled in Hell's Kitchen in NYC.

Happy St Patty's Day! Any Irish tang photos? Been a while, eh?
Also, perhaps later. I've been full steam ahead with the bathroom reno, hence my sporadic appearances here. Finally stopped kicking that can down the road. Just got done caulking...

I had a large collection of various airline tubing (all new), and only one was snug enough during testing to work. I'm thinking this must be the problem. Last night at set up, only the output line had air, and this morning it was in both lines.

(Please excuse the mess, until things work correctly it's only temporary.)

Your input and output are connected properly (in right, out left), but I would crimp them tight with zip ties. Also, secure the tubing to the ridgid acrylic with one as well, and then attempt to calibrate it. Report back if you still get air and we'll troubleshoot further.

I'm thinking the air needs to be purged because you're dosing uphill. Bring the output down to below the pump head and make sure all air is purged from the entire run of tubing.

It's peristaltic, it self primes and should do it on its own.

Should, yes, but I had the same issue on my Jebao until I purged the air and haven't had issues since. Just a thought.

I still have some touching up to do on the grout lines (colored sealant), run a bead of caulk around the toilet, and hang that bundle of lavender and eucalyptus from the shower head, but otherwise It's done...

sorry for the bold lettering- it wouldnt let me turn it off.

And for the record, I had corned beef, cabbage, red skin potatoes, and steamed carrots with horseradish sauce and mustard for lunch at a Mexican Food restaurant - Carlos O'Brien.

There is only one correct way, good sir. Over the top.
I hate going places and seeing poop wiped on the wall behind the roll because someone put it on wrong.

Such a bold job deserves no less for its font.

I did the priming and calibration steps and when I set it up, both lines were completely full.

Nice job! Love the dog pooping. I need to get one of those for my daughter to go with her dog pooping calendar.
